UIUC!!! (2022-2023)

[karmic atlas]

Perf perf

Also does uiuc have bba or management minors

Or would mba be only opt

[tender matrix]

business minor I think

you cant do the hoft thing tho

thats only for graigner cs

[karmic atlas]

Kk

[dim flint]

am i screwed if my ec essay was aboht data science but my major is computer science?

or do aos know that data science is a subsect of cs

[arctic barn]

has there been a case where a student got admitted into a different major than the ones they selected, because they fit better for that manor? (Ex: Stats & Cs rather than Stats)

[stray rune]

no they only admit you to majors you apply to

[stray rune]

aos have a modicum of intelligence they’ll be able to figure it out

[arctic barn]

ahh i see like if my first choice was cs and second was stats but my stats essay talked abt data science, could they place me in stats + cs?

[stray rune]

they’d place you in one or the other unless you also applied for stats + cs

with states schools it’s very rigid

you’re all good

[dim flint]

thanks lol

[tender matrix]

In fact yes

Someone applied compE here and got CS instead

[echo robin]

bruh what

Lol

Lucky man

[tidal parcel]

how does that happen?

[tender matrix]

No idea

It just happened

She doesn't wanna contact admissions Abt it in case it was a mistake

[tidal parcel]

also i heard last year uiuc gave some people who were rejected cs accepted into 2nd major acceptance into cs when they denied their offer in may

[tender matrix]

Lol

Idk Abt that

[tidal parcel]

i saw this email

"We're sorry to see you declined your offer of admission to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. We're writing to inform you that seats have become available in your first-choice major of Computer Science. Based on your excellent academic credentials, we'd like to offer you admission to Computer Science in the Grainger College of Engineering."

thats weir

[urban needle]

Did ea results come out?

[tidal parcel]

are u gonna ask that every day

[urban needle]

First time asking that dawg

[tender matrix]

Damn

Never seen that before

[urban needle]

Tf is bro on

[tidal parcel]

U and other people

does it look like they came out

the dates been on the portal for months

[urban needle]

Ion even know i dont got enough data to scroll up

[tidal parcel]

do a lil research before asking the same question over and over

[urban needle]

Im not ea 💀💀

[sudden geode]

Besties chill

Why passive aggressive when can be fully aggressive?!

[patent sundial]

It could've been "no" instead of that☠

[obsidian carbon]

wait uiuc out?

[soft bramble]

??

[obsidian carbon]

idk what they were saying

[obsidian carbon]

^

[soft bramble]

nah

[obsidian carbon]

oh

[echo minnow]

ppl here cant read

lol

[obsidian carbon]

true

[karmic atlas]

Literally

@urban needle why ask when you know the answer

[sudden geode]

Perhaps if ask question no know answer?!?!???!?!!!!

No sit on grass sits on grass?!???!?!???

[karmic atlas]

It doesnt fucking matter when it comes out no college would ever take you, go to CC or leave it to your kids(assuming they aren't monstrosities like you and assuming a woman touches you) to accomplish what you never can

Anyways

@urban needle we get our rejections in March stop asking thx g 😊😊

[sudden geode]

I underestimated fully aggressive

[karmic atlas]

💀💀💀

I should be paid for this

[patent sundial]

hello

fellow grainger applicant

bioengineering

[urban needle]

smh

asked one

once

and im the one that gets it

fuck all yall

[tidal parcel]

Lets not swear

lets be nice

[urban needle]

my bad

[karmic atlas]

ong

@urban needle stop fucking swearing

[urban needle]

my fuckin bad yo ill relax

[late crest]

WE WILL GET INTO GRAINGER!!!

[patent sundial]

yess 💋

[fluid flame]

l&s gang rise up

[tired robin]

faa

[tidal parcel]

l&s cs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

[arctic barn]

sheesh that's crazy, especially since CS is harder to get into

must've been a mistake tho

[tidal parcel]

t-9 days

[olive scarab]

yooayeyoosee

[raw tree]

I just got an email

Asking if I wanted to add a second major

When’s the deadline for that

If I applied RD

[fierce lintel]

.

[fluid flame]

hint hint wink wink you might want to choose a 2nd major

[crude canopy]

anyone know average stats of a cs admit at uiuc

[hidden galleon]

High

[patent sundial]

Their 25th percentile sat is like 1460

I think gpa was 3.8?

[olive scarab]

wtf

no

[patent sundial]

Look at their info on their website

Google isn't major specific

[olive scarab]

yo

cs and econ would be which school

[hidden galleon]

This is just Grainger overall

Which is more accurate but still

Not cs accurate

[patent sundial]

Cs is grainger iirc, idk if anything else

[hidden galleon]

Yes but Grainger is not CS

[olive scarab]

WE HAVE A CHANCE

A SMALL CHANCE

[hidden galleon]

No

[olive scarab]

BUT A CHANCE

[hidden galleon]

That's not how it works

[olive scarab]

Then?

[hidden galleon]

Cause cs+x is like outlier asf

Compared to the rest of l&s

[hidden galleon]

I didn't mean we don't have a chance here ** my bad loll

[lucid plank]

I DIDNT KNOW CS+X WAS THERE ON COMMON APP😭😭😭😭😭

[hidden galleon]

Bruh

Rip

[lucid plank]

hate this

[hidden galleon]

Where my cs+advertising gang at

[lucid plank]

i wrote my why major essay on CS+Stats

[hidden galleon]

Hmm

[lucid plank]

and selected CS only

f

[olive scarab]

ya boi

did cs+econ

[hidden galleon]

Hell yeah

[olive scarab]

but our chances would be better than the pure cs lads right

[hidden galleon]

Oh yes

For sure

[patent sundial]

jeez

fuck

[raw tree]

apparently everyone got it if they didn’t choose a second major

[craggy crypt]

SAME

And if u change major now it fucks with ur app

Ffs

[lucid plank]

we done big time

[craggy crypt]

Man

I was like imma jus double manor if I get cs

Didn’t bother looking ngl

[patent sundial]

i did not

lol

i applied EA

[lucid plank]

i fr thought id increase my chances

then i done fucked up

[patent sundial]

how are you guys getting this email

did you apply EA??

[soft bramble]

I didn't get it even tho I didn't choose a 2nd choice major

[craggy crypt]

RD probs

[blazing sand]

You should be focusing on school

[patent sundial]

ohhh

[patent sundial]

ohhh

[neat shuttle]

Same bruh

[patent sundial]

does anyone know what time decisions are released?

[sudden geode]

No clue D:

Dont think its on the a2c calendar but hopefully im wrong idk

[astral lily]

I thought its on Jan 27th

[iron ermine]

Ye it is

[tidal parcel]

its usually been around 3:30 ct

[patent sundial]

thanks!

[empty scroll]

write what

[lean forge]

me thinking UIUC kinda like Purdue -> a safety ish

me also seeing how some majors have <20% 🥲

[sick fiber]

Me fr

[lone geode]

cant relate having UIUC as safety 😢

especially being deferred by purdue also

[blazing sand]

UIUC could be a safety if you didn’t choose a major in Grainger

[echo robin]

i think harvard could be a safety right?

[lone geode]

💀 I am so repenting rn for liking cs

[blazing sand]

I mean it’s fine

Just choose a decent second choice

Hopefully

[lone geode]

i kinda don't have a second interest 💀

[blazing sand]

Lmfao

[patent sundial]

jinsei ga owatta

[lean forge]

:<

i mean

if u apply to engineering at purdue, u'd be blessed if u get a deferral not a rejection lol

[lean forge]

lol

same like purdue

[sick fiber]

I accidentally applied for the wrong major and still somehow got in with my essays for the wrong major

Lmao

So I applied last night to transfer major

[lean forge]

lol :))

smh smh

[sick fiber]

I’m an idiot

I was so annoyed

Like I was reading the decision and was like “wait I didn’t apply for that, did i??”

[lean forge]

lol 🥲

just go to purdue and switch major lol

i think u're allowed to do that?

or at least it wont be that hard

[sick fiber]

Switching to cs very hard

[lean forge]

ah

cs

ofc

[sick fiber]

I got in for computer engineering

Idk why I selected that in common app

I hate hardware

[lean forge]

ah

i mean

thats kinda same thing so

[sick fiber]

Not rlly

[lean forge]

easier compared to if u wanna switch from business to engineering

[sick fiber]

Since it was ea I didn’t understand the difference yet

I thought computer engineering was programming

But that’s cs

[lone geode]

idk it just hurts alot to not be accepted :/

and I didn't do too well this semester

[lean forge]

well

i wasnt

cuz some schools have yield protection

also i prepared for this shit mentally

[sick fiber]

It’s a public school

[lean forge]

i watched like 20 vids b4 of kids getting rejected 🥲

[lone geode]

yea im not really mentally well tbh lol

[lean forge]

ye acceptance rates are low this year lol

[lean forge]

ah

[sick fiber]

You have a really tough demographic

[lean forge]

thats why

gotta train

[lone geode]

I chose to study abroad because of some mental probs

cant handle the big tests

[lean forge]

i mean im int. asian too 🥲

[lean forge]

i can do that tho

just cant do sat 🙂

[sick fiber]

Oh shoot

[lean forge]

i hate that crap

[lean forge]

why?

[sick fiber]

That’s really hard for cs

Oh wait I guess I assumed ur doing cs because this is the uiuc thread

What major are you applying for

[lean forge]

ah

i didnt lol

business

uiuc and purdue

[sick fiber]

Oh nice

[lean forge]

ye

competitive but not as much

[nova flint]

when is this coming

(asking for my friend)

[lean forge]

?

ea decision?

[nova flint]

yes

[lean forge]

didnt apply lol

[astral lily]

Jan 27th

[nova flint]

ty

[sick fiber]

I don’t know when any decision dates are

I’m just chillin

Gonna take it as it comes

[astral lily]

Most competitive public’s are on Jan 27th (UMich, uiuc, Georgia tech, unc, etc)

Fun times, ready for 4 rejections in one day

[last valley]

Exciting

[sick fiber]

I’m always ready for failure :))

The thought of getting rejected from everywhere makes me so happy!!!

I love it

[nova flint]

me when someone says rejection is redirection 😍

[lean forge]

fr

big mindset

if u know u'll get a D regardless, u will ace ur test and mb get a C 🥲

[lean forge]

me who alr applied to 4 safeties early

[sick fiber]

Wait do you play skywars

[nova flint]

yes

how do u know 💀

[sick fiber]

I’m outside your window ofc

Jk you are in the ap hunter server

And most AP hunters are skywars mains

[nova flint]

oh yeah

im not like a no life but i play a decent amount

[sick fiber]

Wanna play doubles 😳

[nova flint]

wats ur ign

[sick fiber]

123_WILL

Not online rn

At school

I’m duels overall godlike

[nova flint]

damn wtf

[sick fiber]

And a ex skyblock main

[lone geode]

damn really be finding skywars teammates in A2C

[sick fiber]

:))

The grindset is real

[nova flint]

im trash tho

only 14 star

[sick fiber]

Same lmao

[sick fiber]

I’m a 13 star

[lone geode]

yea I used to grind skywars so hard lmao

[sick fiber]

I grind the bridge (superior game)

[nova flint]

bridge makes me want to pull my hair out

[sick fiber]

Lmaooo relatable

[craggy portal]

whats ur star

im 25

i have an irl friend whos 80+ stars he carries me

[sick fiber]

Skywars isn’t my main mode, so I’m just 13 star

I don’t really play anymore but I was a duels/skyblock main

[sick fiber]

BRO IKR

I DID IT RIGHT EVERYWHERE ELSE

I emailed them and they gave me these instructions

Log in to Purdue application portal
• Select the “Application” tab
• Select “Change Requests”
• Select “Change Major & Appeal Request”
• Select “Change Major”

Yeah fr

It doesn’t feel like it belongs in “science”

It feels more like engineering

Np

[tidal parcel]

cs in arts and sciences

lets goo

safety

[sick fiber]

You certainly are loopy

[tidal parcel]

Feeling loopy

[raw tree]

Is priority admission (ea) only for selective majors like cs

And engineering and gies

[hexed skiff]

Yeah I think

There should be a chance boost

I applied math lol 😂

[blazing sand]

iirc the school that houses the math major has like a 50% acc rate

[blazing sand]

Same lol

[hexed skiff]

👌

Idk what the EA acceptance rate for math is

i would be a bit surprised if i get flat rejected lol

[blazing sand]

I think it’s around 50

[ancient kiln]

is there really

i thought they're just going to defer everyone

(not expecting a deferral though... i'll most likely be outright rejected)

[near elk]

rlly?

thats my second choice major and UIUC is ma dream school

haha

[blazing sand]

Like the school that houses the math major was 50%

[blazing sand]

Same except for the dream school part

[near elk]

ye ye the college of liberal arts ye

lmaooooo ye

I like the campus

and dorms and stuff

plus it's cracked for cs

just hella expensive

[iron valve]

in state business applicant 😫

[tender matrix]

Geese

[sudden geode]

One week

https://tenor.com/view/noooo-gif-23973681

How do yall think ea is gonna go

Bc ngl after purdue happened im so scared

[ancient kiln]

For CS, Worse than Purdue probably

[hidden galleon]

oh yeah

for sure worse

[ancient kiln]

It only goes downhill from here

My only bit of hope is in UW madison

[hidden galleon]

i just have rutgers left

before the rejection wave

hits

[sick fiber]

+1

[split sage]

Gl yall with 1 week left, Im praying for the all of us! 🙏 Even if we do or don't get in, that is completely fine either way, as long as we got some colleges that we can go to at the end of the day, that is what matters :))

[marsh bramble]

gtech and uiuc release same day

gonna be a hectic day fr 😰

[drifting pilot]

27th is gonna be wild

[sweet torrent]

seems like mich will be then too

[tidal parcel]

maybe mich and unc

public ivy day 🤘

[rain spindle]

also UT maybe

and probably UMaryland

[sudden geode]

bro umaryland?

maybe its my area but are maryland unis like

relevant at all?

bc of the ppl ik applying to any they all have them as safties and therye all stem majors???

idk

[tidal parcel]

umd is hella good stem

[sudden geode]

damn wtf

i live with maryland haters i thought it was just generic state uni #32

[cerulean beacon]

Umd

[rain spindle]

UMD is actually goated Stem and cybersecurity ngl

[drifting pilot]

uiuc

[cerulean beacon]

Illin-noise

[tropic agate]

University of Maryland or University of Minnesota-Duluth?

[rain spindle]

U maryland college park

[tropic agate]

Ahh, ok

[sudden geode]

Aint no way

With a marketting budget so large i hear them on the radio at least 4x a week damnnnnn

Wait actually just wondering

Do yall ever hear college adverts

Like not for profit schools but just local unis advertising themselves?

[tropic agate]

I get their emails, but that's about it

[valid tendon]

i keep browsing uiuc reddit thinking abt what it would be like to attend

[exotic briar]

too real

[hollow verge]

uiuc my last hope

[echo robin]

i wish uiuc came out already

why does it take so long to come out of the closet

like damn

That was an awful joke

[lone geode]

I just hope they dont straight up reject me

even being deferred is a W imo

[valid tendon]

nah believe in urself

WE ARE ALL GETTING IN 🙏

[patent sundial]

bruh my school invited the seniors who applied to a "UIUC party" next friday 💀

imagine not getting in but attending

[cerulean beacon]

Free food tho?

But I guess it’d be cooler to get both free food and get in

[late crest]

Facts

Free food is free food

Might as well enjoy right

But fr tho getting in >>>>>>>

[patent sundial]

yupppp that's the goalllll

2 for 1

[olive scarab]

Hello

Here before the mayhem starts

How are y’all

[lone geode]

I am no

[royal yarrow]

whats the acceptance rate for the math + cs program

[hidden galleon]

i'd put it somewhere around 15%

@tender matrix is the resident expert iirc

[honest oriole]

what is the acceptance rate for business

[late crest]

chillin, hbu? hope uiuc will be ur bounceback from yesterday lol

[sudden geode]

they have acceptance rates for college so you can estimate based on what college your major is in

[sudden geode]

^

[sudden geode]

^

[olive scarab]

this is for instate or oos/int

and do they admit by school or by major?

[sudden geode]

youre asking??

they just say its the admit rate im assuming its overall

[olive scarab]

yes

oh

[sudden geode]

and they admit to majors

[olive scarab]

then the l and s school acc rate is very high no?

[sudden geode]

yeah because it doesnt have as many of the competitive majors

[olive scarab]

cs+econ counts?

[sudden geode]

math+cs is gonna drag the stats up and the admit rate down though

given its still one of the cs+

though math+cs i dont think technically counts as cs+x however still difficult

[olive scarab]

cs + econ tho

[sudden geode]

thats cs+x which has the rate at the bottom

25.4 as of 2022

[olive scarab]

so its good but not great

[sudden geode]

yeah D:

6 days to find out though

[olive scarab]

its painful though

not as painful as the school i want tho

[iron valve]

any guess what in state acceptance for business is

[hidden galleon]

it does

[tender matrix]

It's not a CS + x that is true

Math + CS is older than Grainger CS

It was the first CS major at UIUC

Thus it's not actually considered as a CS+x by the uni

Neither is stats + cs

Which was made in the late 1980s early 1990s

[tender matrix]

Above 30%

Maybe about 1/3

[blazing sand]

How comp would the math major be at UIUC

[tender matrix]

Not very competitive

It's probably around the LAS overall acc rate, maybe a bit lower

[tidal parcel]

how is data science

[olive scarab]

It’s the science of data

[sick fiber]

Ong

[crude canopy]

did any of you send ap score reports

cuz i sent mine in october for ea but it doesnt say they got my score report

[blazing sand]

APs aren’t really that important for college apps

I wouldn’t worry too much

[tidal parcel]

we have to send score reports?

[blazing sand]

No

[tidal parcel]

6 days

https://tenor.com/view/js-love-awards-6days-to-go-gif-16136299

Shout out uiuc for announcing the decision day back in november

[raw tree]

@tender matrix do you know how difficult getting into Applied Health Sciences/ DGS is?

[tiny peak]

for cs+x, do you have to have ec's / honors in the x or is it good enough to explain ur interest in the essays?

[tender matrix]

Good chance at dgs

40% ish

[tender matrix]

I only had interest

[tiny peak]

yea same

[static pulsar]

@tender matrix any knowledge on engineering odds?
(neural eng specifically)
im sorry im sure youve answered this alrdy but 😭

[tender matrix]

overall engineering is around like 25% ishhh

I think neural might be better but its gonna be competitive for sure

[static pulsar]

kk, tysm~

[tender matrix]

good luck tho 🤞

[tidal parcel]

what is the % for data science?

[tender matrix]

ds + is?

maybe around the IS level

prolly lower

IS is 60%

so this would be lower

[tidal parcel]

hows cs econ? in arts + sci

[tender matrix]

cs + econ hard

for oos its prolly below 20%

its one of the more competitive cs + x

[hidden galleon]

i forget if ive asked you, but cs+advertising?

what do u think about the competitiveness of that major

[tender matrix]

It's probably 20% or so for OOS

It's a pretty big major

It's more competitive than CS + crop science

About as competitive as CS + philosophy

Less competitive than CS + linguistics

[hidden galleon]

Ah interesting

[patent sundial]

which would you say are the most and least competitive ones

i hope i didn't make a mistake picking cs+linguistics over cs+philosophy

[wooden horizon]

is switching into CS + Math easy if you got into CS

i wonder if i'd rather do CS or CS + Math idk

i applied pure CS

[tender matrix]

Most are stats CS and math cs

Following it is CS + linguistics, CS + econ

Then CS + Phil, CS + advertising

Then CS + crop science, CS + education

[tender matrix]

Yea it's easy

[late crest]

Crop science 💀

[tender matrix]

Lol

[late crest]

Who thought of that

[tender matrix]

Idk

I think it's cause uiuc good at agriculture

And they were like why not

CS + animal science exists too

[late crest]

Well the word agriculture would of been more pleasing to my eyes

[tender matrix]

There's like barely any overlapping courses in those programs anyway

[hidden galleon]

imagine if i clutch uiuc cs + advertising 💦

jk it wont happen

[tender matrix]

Good luck 🤞

[hidden galleon]

thank you!!

[blazing sand]

I hope I clutch math

[patent sundial]

alright, thanks for the respone

[fluid flame]

is cs+chem hard to get into

wink wink

[olive scarab]

The winks make no sense

[tropic agate]

true

[fluid flame]

i applied to cs+chem lol

[olive scarab]

But since it’s a CS+x you have a higher acc rate

[late crest]

Too bad I applied cs in grainger 😎

[iron valve]

what if everyone had that mindset

and cs+x is more competitive lol

[ancient kiln]

isn't CS+X only not as competitive because of self selection

[tender matrix]

Its on the easier half I think

Doesnt mean it's easy by any measure tho

[hexed skiff]

Lol for me I applied math x history to all of the competitive schools

To show diversity etc.

[raw tree]

even for the instate folks?

[tall mirage]

[mental ridge]

how shit will rd acceptance rates be

for oos/intls

[late crest]

0-1% for cs

[tender matrix]

It's easier to get in for instate people

There's a decent boost for instate

[olive scarab]

Gonna take a page out of Merced Simp's book

Oh 27th Jan, what is your plan?
To keep us waiting, so that you may hear our wailing?
To keep us on our heels, so that to these institutions, we may kneel?
Whatever it may be, just please set us free

Maryland, there some will make their stand.
At college park, they shall finally disembark
for the next four years, with no more tears
to walk into the light, away from the night

Urbana Champaign, where there is so much to gain.
Be it grainger or be it Liberal arts, the decision will hit a few like a keen dart.
But for few others, they shall be brothers
working together, like birds of a feather

Fair Georgia, at the city of Atlanta
Near peach tree avenue, shall you make leaders?
but on the day, you will make us pray
For you are the coldest, among all your sisters

At great ann arbour, few shall harbour
to make their stay, worth the pray
Much like your lake, you shall make them superior.
But to others, you may seem inferior

Massachussets, where many minds are set
Come this fall, who may attend your lavish dining halls?
To the bustling heart, rejection may seem tart
But the sharp mind, you shall repay in kind

And lastly, Beloved Madison, heed the words of this wayward son
Take me into your embrace, with your undying grace
So that this world, I may make my own.
Here I would make my stand, standing tall and grand

But for now?

27th jan, what is your plan?
To keep us waiting, so that you may hear our wailing?
To keep us on our heels, so that to these institutions, we may kneel?
Whatever it may be, just please set us free

@tender matrix how is bioengineering

like what are the general profiles of those admitted

[full cove]

yeah frfr

[fluid flame]

who wrote this

[olive scarab]

Me

[fluid flame]

add a verse for ut austin

😭😭

[tender matrix]

I heard some years its less than 10% 💀

its a small dept

not sure about the general profiles

Ive actually not met a bioeng major yet

[patent sundial]

💀 HUH

HOLY SHIT

[patent sundial]

💀

[tender matrix]

I dont have any backing to this

but I do know its very competitive

[patent sundial]

oh bruh

why did i apply for that

[foggy copper]

Did they mention the decision date time?

[patent sundial]

i should have just applied for biology

[tender matrix]

bioeng has the highest cutoff the transfer too

3.75 gpa to transfer in

[patent sundial]

💀

holy fuck

WHAT

IS THIS

[patent sundial]

3.75 AT UIUC??

my gpa is barely above that

[tender matrix]

yea 3.75 at uiuc to transfe rin

iirc

[patent sundial]

😭

oh my

all i want is uiuc to accept me and my mid gpa for cs+ling ❤️

[tender matrix]

good luck 🤞

does decision release this week?

[tidal parcel]

yep friday

[tender matrix]

ahhh

gluck then!

[patent sundial]

ty 🤞

[foggy copper]

Did they mention the decision date time (not the date)?

[late crest]

I THINK it’s 4 pm ct (5pm est)

[patent sundial]

can someone link the portal

i can't find it for some reason

[bright zinc]

https://myillini.illinois.edu/Apply/Application/Status

ip grabber

[patent sundial]

thx

[sudden geode]

5pm est decision time gross

Imagine finishing your schoolday having tests and whatnot then you go home and get rejected from a uni

Actually at least they give you the time to not be elated/depressed during school

[patent sundial]

i wonder how cracked you have to be in order to be admitted to CS RD

just thought about it

[sudden geode]

Is it known what % of cs is admitted ea?

I thought itd be like uva where rd is just asking to be waitlisted (if oos i think)

[patent sundial]

idk, but UIUC is one of those schools that basically has their process much earlier

someone who visited my school explicitly stated that they didn't like admitting too many RD

[sudden geode]

Damn what

Bit of an off for rd folks

I guess maybe it helps yield???? Idk

[patent sundial]

Yup

Tbh I really hate that

Like college app season should not be ending early with institutions ☠

[raw tree]

especially for those applying cs and engineering

[patent sundial]

Yeah

I also kinda find it funny, because if you didn't even finish SRAR on time, I think you were pushed to RD

[raw tree]

oof

[patent sundial]

That's what happened to people at my school who applied on common app

They didn't know

[raw tree]

i did RD for applied health sciences + dgs :/

if i get in

im insta committing lol

[sudden geode]

what's dgs?

[raw tree]

undecided

[sudden geode]

ah okok

[sudden geode]

hey besties

how much of a rabbit hole is there on yt from uiuc students

like can you gaslight yourself into loving the school you dont go to or is there criticism n shit

[raw tree]

a bit but if youre not cs eh not rlly

i just watch day in life and tt videos from uiuc students lmao

im also instate so i can just ask lol

[sudden geode]

LOL

i kinda just need bg noise for hw and have been watching cs uni student videos lately but wanted schools i was applying to

idk

like idk if i should find criticism or just gaslight myself into thinking the school is perfect

[raw tree]

are u cs?

[sudden geode]

yeah LOL

[raw tree]

dang good luck

[sudden geode]

tyty

ngl purdue has gotten me down but on the bright side if im rejected im in proximity to enough crime to pretend like im vaguely near chicago

so i wont be missing out!!!

[wooden horizon]

the real question is

UIUC or gtech

for CS

[pseudo hill]

ga tech personally

(personally)

[bright zinc]

probably uiuc

[sudden geode]

ngl i just dont want to go to ga

ive heard from one guy that the people he's worked with from gtech are wildly smart but idk if theyre all cs so ??

[astral lily]

I would also personally say GT > UIUC

But also, i like need actually get into either first lol

[tidal parcel]

Story of my life

its during school for central time people

usually its around ~3:30 ct

imagine ur in ur 7th period and boom

rejected

[sudden geode]

yall are ending school at 3:30 what

do you at least start at 8ish??

at least for me i have a comp this sunday so if i either get the decision in a last minute meeting in which case my emotions are already just stress or im working on the notebook in which case i already want to die

and my mom thinks m getting in so i likely have to burst that bubble so yikes

[patent sundial]

lol i'd actually be in 7th period

we have 9 periods

which is ap stats

[tidal parcel]

ending at 4

start at 9

[sudden geode]

bro thats the time my area has elementary school

[solar portal]

hi oo i oo cee ers

[sudden geode]

hi carly (portal astronomer)

[solar portal]

would any of you like to create a server icon and/or banner for the 27th i have also asked the techers but we'll see who does better

[sudden geode]

yes

[solar portal]

which

or both

idc

[sudden geode]

icon

i am mkaing it right now

not serious though mind you

[solar portal]

Wdym

If you make it look nice I’ll put it up and credit you

On the 27th

[sudden geode]

pelase do not make that the actual picture LMAO

or if for some reason you want a 24 hour shitpost then idk

oh actually

[solar portal]

If Syracuse weren’t an orange

[tidal parcel]

do u have some examples

[solar portal]

incoming spam

Basically if multiple schools are that day you could combine them somehow

But it’s not necessary

[bright zinc]

I like this one

[sudden geode]

its all one message

which is "this"

[solar portal]

like i did this for williams amherst swarthmore pomona

just ezpz static

if you cant animate

[tidal parcel]

do u have the a2c text logo transparent?

[sudden geode]

nah lets make it comic sans

[solar portal]

I have ai file (which you can edit on photopea for free if you want) and transparent a2c in both black and white as png

[tidal parcel]

valid

[bright zinc]

Yes that’s the point

[tidal parcel]

can i have the ai file

ill try to make somethin

[solar portal]

Sent

[sudden geode]

perfect

[royal yarrow]

UIUC if cost was not a factor

[raw tree]

@tender matrix

yo do u know much about info sciences + datat sciences admission chances?

[tender matrix]

Prolly some what less than 60%

It's a new major so idk

But IS is 60%

I don't think IS + DS can be far off

[royal yarrow]

what makes the math+CS acceptance rate close to less popular cs+X majors?

[raw tree]

oo ok

[tender matrix]

Cause math and CS is powerful

And it's very old

And it's not CS + x

[patent sundial]

😭

[near elk]

ur prolly fine cz ur instate

i dunno i'm waiting on my app 2, it's not like other colleges where it's come out a bit so we can gauge

we only k on Friday

[patent sundial]

Yea I guess

But idk the numbers for CS+PHIL

No idea how competitive it is

[near elk]

I applied cs and then just math

[patent sundial]

I just applied bc my app best fits the profile; CS+PHIL and PHIL second choice

[near elk]

it's prolly alr

[silver flicker]

i did cs + math and then math for second choice

[near elk]

nice

[silver flicker]

i feel like i’m screwed ngl

[near elk]

it is what it is atp

[silver flicker]

oh-

i mean

there’s always asu

[patent sundial]

Lmao

Yeaaaa

Had a fucked up last semester

[arctic barn]

does UIUC do deferrals or is it mostly accept/reject?

[patent sundial]

Does UIUC CS+X srsly care abt how quirky or creative the essays are or r they looking simply for those that fit the CS+X profile

[hidden galleon]

i think it's a bit of both yk

dont be basic as fuck

but also dont bullshit

they wanna see 150 words of relevance to both the CS and the X

150 words isnt room enough for super quirkiness

in my opinion

it takes away from content

[patent sundial]

No deep synthesis here but I hope it’s good / ok

[hidden galleon]

what is your X

philopshoy

my bad

thats cool!

[patent sundial]

Yea

My heart aches

I hate saying this

I just feel so fking stressed

Internal pain

Don’t know how I’ll sleep.

[silver flicker]

try brown noise

[patent sundial]

Ok I will

[silver flicker]

it helps

[pure spire]

u not talking would also help

[patent sundial]

Dang

[silver flicker]

u not having a deadly peanut allergy would also help

hm

atp it depends on tuition for me but idk

[pure spire]

Uiuc probably

[silver flicker]

be quiet

nobody asked u firestar

[dim flint]

uiuc cs

cuz overall prestige

and better location

[pure spire]

[silver flicker]

[pure spire]

You must be a slow learner

[silver flicker]

you must be a bad monkey bar climber

[pure spire]

Or oatmeal or avocado toast

[silver flicker]

underground economy

[pure spire]

Academic discord server consultant and helper
president of cabbage club

1 year of jv basketball
apcsa student

[lone geode]

Yo whats cabbage club

[pure spire]

My sat and gpa may be “low”

but I have more than just that

[pure spire]

It’s a club where we eat cabbages and learn how to grow them!!

and other cool activities

[lone geode]

Whats so appealing about cabbages tho

Are there sth special about them that you wanted do dedicate a club to them?

[pure spire]

I dunno I just like them!

[lone geode]

Whats like your favourite species or sth

[pure spire]

Uhm

The green ones

But the purple ones are nice too

Just not my personal favorite

[silver flicker]

cabbage is disgusting

celery is so much better

that's why i founded celery club

[pure spire]

what!!!!

[silver flicker]

we make celery juice and drink it

[pure spire]

that’s not fair

[silver flicker]

i love celery juice

[pure spire]

THATS NOT FAIR

[silver flicker]

it is

sorry

[pure spire]

I DONT LIKE IT

[silver flicker]

cabbage is nasty

[pure spire]

STIP IT

[silver flicker]

grow up

[pure spire]

STOP IT

I DONT LIKE CELERY

[silver flicker]

apple celery ginger juice is heaven

[silver flicker]

too bad

[lone geode]

Ok im lowkey interested about the flavor

It seems so random

[silver flicker]

it like has a spicy (????) aftertaste but the apple sweetens it

celery makes it rly refreshing

and it is great for ur health

[pure spire]

that’s what u drink when ur throat hurts right

[silver flicker]

no

[pure spire]

Oh

[silver flicker]

it's what i drink when i want to drink smt

[pure spire]

How about you stop acting so sophisticated and better than everyone else and just drink water

[silver flicker]

*when i want to drink smt that is not water

[pure spire]

This is just what I’d expect from someone like you running celery club

[silver flicker]

this is why u have no hoes on this server

[pure spire]

This is why both ur hoes left u

u went from hoehoe to nohoe

[silver flicker]

i am still hoehoe

u however are foreverhoelone

[lone geode]

I am touhou

[silver flicker]

[pure spire]

Toe ?

[lone geode]

its a game franchise

nvm it was a bad pun

[silver flicker]

the best game ever is fashion studio

[lone geode]

tf is that

[silver flicker]

fashion studio

u make clothes and compete in fashion shows and design things for clients and level up to unlock new designs

[pure spire]

The best game ever is animal jam

[silver flicker]

no

stop trying to one-up me. it won't work. you are in timeout

[pure spire]

[silver flicker]

i always won the fashion shows

[pure spire]

veda05 no need to be ashamed

u should be more embarrassed by your obsession with a rat that can cook vegetables

[silver flicker]

u should be more embarrassed by your inability to dodge flying giant stuffed animals

[pure spire]

u should be more embarassed by your debate skills

tell me about videogames

[silver flicker]

u should be more ashamed by ur inability to run on tennis courts

[pure spire]

u should be more ashamed by ur inability to remember song lyrics and wear wigs

[silver flicker]
